My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have read a few of this authors work. I like her dark stories and Twisted Proposal does not disappoint. She entices you into worlds easily imagined due to her strong word building. I enjoyed the story premise and Victoria’s writing style. Victoria’s vivid narrative paints a picture that is seductive and draws you in with to the BDSM lifestyle that is hot and sexy.
Twisted Proposal is a book in the Central Florida Stories series. Each book can be read as standalones but why not start at the beginning as characters do cross over in some books.
Lured into a world of Submissives, Dominants, BDSM where the game of seduction plays to the Elite.
Mistake in identity is all it takes for revenge to take hold. Slipping under his skin was not on the agenda.
If you like to dip your toes into BDSM then you will like this story.

Hero Complex (Bluestone Series, #3)Hero Complex by Isobel Reed
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance which kept me captivated throughout by the wonderful characters and heartwarming storyline. Ivy is desperately trying to save her ranch, but her clients are sexist, and so to placate them she pretends to be engaged to retired Marine, Ace. Meanwhile, Ace came up with the idea of a fake relationship to get to know Ivy better, thinking that he would never stand a chance with her. After all it’s not just internal battle scars that caused him to be medically discharged from the military, but scars on his face too. Ace has trouble looking at himself in the mirror and so believes Ivy would never find him attractive. However, Ivy is very attracted to the handsome ex Marine, but wishes he would get over his ‘hero complex’, and trying to save her all the time! Although they both want to turn their fake relationship into a real one, they are also both wounded in their own ways. The wide open spaces of the ranch and ranch life was brought vividly to life through the descriptive narrative and I felt immersed in the story. I loved Ivy and Ace and felt invested in their romance, and was hoping they would get a HEA. A lovely read, and one which I recommend.

I love reading this author’s books. Her stories are always informative and you will always learn something. This book didn’t veer in that direction but while you didn’t learn anything per se, it is an extremely imaginative story. It is fun to imagine what plants would say if they could talk. This book could lead to many interesting conversations with the little ones. Filled with colourful illustrations and adventure, this will be a hit with the children.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Told from multiple points of view the past and present mix to make an incredible picture of this dystopian world. I enjoyed the complexities of the story and the way the author presented the information about it to the readers. The story flowed in such a way that you get pieces of the larger puzzle slowly and keeps you intrigued throughout. I found that I didn’t immediately love each of the characters, for various reasons, but came to understand their circumstances. The idea of a caste system and fantastical elements of powers gave more to the story than I’d originally hoped and definitely held my attention and kept me engaged in the story.

Obedience (Ties That Bind Book 1) by Liza Snow – Review by Dr. Anya Schultz

ObedienceObedience by Liza Snow
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Obedience is about a girl named Cassandra Blackstone. Cassandra is a silk aerialist who has always wanted to be mentored by one of the greats, Chandler Moreau. Cassandra auditions for the school that Chandler’s family owns and receives a full scholarship, mentorship, and a job as a teacher assistant. I won’t go into too much detail because there is a lot of things that happen in this book. Long story short, Cassandra is borderline obsessed with Chandler and he seems to have similar feelings once he saw her perform. He is quite older then her and recently divorced so he is seen as a little bit of a grump (not to mention he hates his father). While infatuated with each other, this is not a love at first sight type of story – they each have a lot of baggage and secrets. They do end up falling for each other, but at what cost. Chandler’s family is evil from what we have seen so far and Cassandra is trying to rid the evil from her former life. That doesn’t really bode well for falling for a guy who has evil in his blood. There is this back and forth of information throughout the entire book and is left on a cliff hanger.
Overall, I enjoyed the book. I think it provided something a little different then what I am use to reading so that was refreshing. However, there is a lot of information to pay attention to so I had to make sure that I wasn’t too tire while reading. As for the characters, I thought they were interesting. I didn’t love them but didn’t hate them either. Chandler seems a little overbearing and overprotective, but I am sure there is a lot of reasoning behind it. However, I do think he is a little controlling as well, and while I normally love that in a male character, for some reason it just wasn’t hitting the same for me with Chandler. As for Cassandra, I thought she was smart, elegant (in her craft) but a little naive. However, there is a point where she just says what needs to be said and does what needs to be done. I do love that when came to the love story there wasn’t too much build up – however, there was always another secret around the corner. The romance built up so good, but then at times I wanted more. I will read book 2 because I now need to at least know what all the secrets are!!

Truly Unfortunate (Welcome To Knollville #1)Truly Unfortunate by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Truly Unfortunate by C.A. King is the first book to the Welcome to Knollville paranormal series. The story begins with Truly as a child, and one can quickly conclude that she is being brought up in an extremely toxic and abusive environment. As the story continues and Truly has become a young adult, it is evident that some sort of event has caused her to lock out the memories of her past. She has been working to try to regain the memories, but she could find that the memories were better off left suppressed. I quite enjoyed the writing and felt the paranormal aspects and plot were very fresh and exciting enough to keep the pages turning. I would certainly be interested in reading the next book.

WOW! This is Sky and Damon’s story. Sky has her work cut out for her. Her friend wants Damon before the year ends. Only Sky has crushed on him forever. Damon, on the other hand, is more interested in Sky. High School is such a struggle to get through. The bullies, the cheerleaders, the nerds and the jocks. This story deals with many teen issues. That’s what makes this author’s story so believable. It is well written, fast paced and easy to follow. All teens would agree this is like high school all over. Enemy’s to Romance is just how this story reads. So many emotions will be challenged, so many secrets will be opened and somebody is bound to find romance. This is a fantastic story for New Adults as well as adult readers.

This is an author that I have loved reading from the first book I picked up. This is the third book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous books as well, it will help you enjoy this author;s writing skills as well as her characters. I found this book to be fast paced and hard to put down. A well written story where the characters pull you into their world and make it pop. I enjoyed watching their growth as well as their chemistry which is off the charts. What will happen when she gets under his skin? What will fate have instore for them? I found myself hoping they would get their HEA. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens with these two characters. I really enjoyed them and what they brought to the story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After seven years as a happy and successful couple, partner Dane decides something’s missing. When Dane proposes adding a third to the mix, things start to change. The two men find two different women they feel would be the perfect third to their duo… The book was relatively short with plenty of erotic encounters along the way. Though this book is part of a collection, you can read it as a standalone and not miss out on any information from previous books.

I enjoyed this book from the start, as Ivy doesn’t really hold much back with her words or actions despite her best efforts.

Ivy’s ranch is flailing and she’s out of options until her ranch hand Ace opens his mouth and makes an announcement, to all of their shock.

Watching them work through their issues both personal, professional and mental was a ride but so worth it in the end.
I enjoyed all the people we met and I especially loved Ace’s mom!

Punk (Popov Boys #6)Punk by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 6th book is the Popov Boys series. This is one of those series where each installment is just as good if not better than the installment before which just goes to show how great the author is at keeping the stories fresh and with new ideas.
This is a great age gap romance which is also full of danger, Suspense, kidnappings and risk being taken that could be lethal.
I really like Efrem’s character. He is trying to make up for being born into a family who have done wrong. He doesn’t want to be the same so he risks his life every night trying to make the city safe and protecting innocent people disguised as Punk.
When he takes a job as bookkeeper for a record studio the story really gets interesting when the attraction he feels to his boss Miranda is really intense.
Miranda is a strong willed, determined woman who is on a mission to find Punk who she believes is responsible for murdering her brother. However she is asking questions and looking for answers in places that are going to put her life in danger.
What will happen when Miranda realised that Efrem is Punk? Will the chemistry they have between them be enough to overcome that and find the truth or will Miranda’s hunt for her brothers killer put them in a situation that is dangerous to both of their lives.
This is an edge of your seat Mafia romance which you won’t be able to put down and the twists and turns will keep you guessing from beginning to end

Punk was a brilliant read! From beginning to end I was completely hooked on what I was reading. Miranda is such a strong character, I really liked reading about her. There was such a great connection between her and Efrem, you could really feel it coming off the pages. I really like the authors writing, she keeps your interest throughout the story and I found myself struggling to put the book down at times as I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. I’ve dipped in and out of this series but I absolutely must make sure that I read them all. A fantastic read and one that I highly recommend.

Ace is one of those characters who you can’t help but fall in love with, his story was so raw and heart-breaking at times. Ivy was a wonderful character to read about too, she had endured so much loss in her life I just really felt for her. I loved the two of them together, they had such a genuine connection and they did help each other.

Wonderful read! I love reading books by this author, she offers many different stories from many different periods. Set in the 1920s, I know many have imagined living in this time with the flapper fashion, Al Capone, The Charleston and women learning to become empowered. Watching Bethany realize who she is, what she wants in life, what she likes and how she wants to live is so sweet. I could not imagine living day in and day out in a corset, and it was fun to see Bethany tasting that freedom. Her aunt and uncle are cruel and absolutely ridiculous. They seem shady with regards to her inheritance and treat her like dirt, so seeing how sweet she is, is a breath of fresh air. Bethany and Paul are lovely together and I couldn’t see her with anyone else. I wish I could see how the couple worked out in the end, but I’ll leave that to my own imagination.

This was sweet book aimed at children aged between 3 and 7. Hudson was such an adorable little boy who was always there to help other when they needed him but sometimes he forgot how to look after himself. This book shows children how important it is to look after yourself. I think the story had some really important talking points but I’m not 100% sure a 3 year old would be able to comprehend the real meaning behind the story but would absolutely be great for 5 -7 year olds in my opinion.

Japan (Tally and the Angel #3)Japan by Eleanor Dixon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Starting off, I didn’t think I would get into the story as much as I did. This book really had me feeling many different emotions. I was angry at everyone for keeping things from Tally, sad that Jophiel seemed to be giving her the cold shoulder and heartbroken that she was hurting so much when she lost something so important. Miyu really got my blood boiling with the her sneaking around, and the way she treats Yoshi and Tally. In the end I understand she was honestly just lost. Lost in her family’s history. Reading of Miyu’s grandmother’s story at the beginning of each chapter was prefect. We get a glimpse of why things ended the way they did for Miyu and her grandmother. Learning of some Japanese traditions, and different cultural things was very interesting and really makes me want to visit Japan.

This was a soul puncher and an eye opener. As a mom of young kids and a step mom to older kids, I am constantly on my kids about sticking together. I am not disillusioned and maybe a little jaded in that I’m not going to force someone to have another in their life just because they’re family, BUT, siblings should be there for each other. And if I can instill this loving and supportive relationship for each other onto them then I am leaving them better for it! This collection of tales broke me, healed me, and was thought inducing to say the least. To think of what our family would look like after we are gone, to have seen for myself siblings essentially fall apart after losing our matriarch, wasnt something I thought too heavily about. This was so eloquently put together and so, so, so impactful! I felt every emotion under the sun and felt empathy grow exponentially. Great read and for moms or those who have lost their moms, this is a really good read!!

Ethan is a little twisted and watching him work through his issues is quite interesting. The storyline was a little glitchy in a few spots but flowed fairly smooth and it was quite good. This is an exciting story that if you like twisted adventure and romance, it’s for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I cannot get enough of this author and this series! I love the switch from Cole and Riley’s characters to Damon and Skylar. Damon and Sky are not new characters, but the spotlight is now on them. Their dynamic is very similar to Cole and Riley’s. Skylar bears this strength that most teenagers do not possess. Because of that strength, I cannot understand why she is best friends with Gia. Gia is needy, wants to rise in popularity, and is flaky.

Skylar would literally give the skin off of her back for Gia, and I do not believe that Gia would even give Sky a jacket if it was cold outside. I do not want to give too much away because the book is a quick and easy read. However, I will say it ends in a #CliffHanger so make sure you have the next one ready to read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wasn’t sure what to expect going into this book. It is a more modern take on Sleeping Beauty. When I say modern, I mean it in the form of the love interests in this book and the updated surroundings. The reason I wasn’t sure what to expect is because whether we want to admit it or not we all have preconceived notions when it comes to a retelling or even to using the same plot lines just enough to draw reference. There is magic, love, friendship, and fantasy. This version allows for you to take what you thought you knew about a Sleeping beauty story and have it recreated in your mind to the possibility of what it would have been like if the main characters were both males. This story builds and builds which shows character depth and world building scenarios. The magic that is involved isn’t done to where you need a glossary of terms to understand. This made the book enjoyable for me to read. It was classically done with an amazing twist. I highly suggest reading this book to allow yourself the opportunity to reimagine what Sleeping Beauty could be like. It is a quick read that you will find yourself falling in love with the story as it progresses. I highly recommend reading this if you like a twist on a classic.

Efrem Popov is struggling to find his space in the world, being from one of the most dangerous families their reputation always muddies the water to who he is. Once making a deal with his grandfather to disband the illegal side of the family he is still hiding his secret from his family, but one day he decides to leave the family business and find a job on his own. That’s when he finds Miranda and she recuses him more than she will ever know.

Miranda is locked in a nasty divorce and is struggling with her business until one day in walks a young man looking for a job, she has a opening for, he sets to work discovering what her ex-husband and friend was up to and finds a whole heap of dog poo to unravel. Efrem helps Miranda uncover the embezzlement, but more drama follows when her stepdaughter shows up pleading for her to stay with Miranda.

As the story goes on Miranda and Efrem discover feelings for each other but with Efrem’s dark secret and Miranda’s ex-husband can the couple survive the pressures and become one with each other.

OMG, I love this series. I have devoured every book but this one I confess is my favourite as in the other books you get a glimpse of Efrem, but this book lets him shine. I love the interaction with his family and that the emotion of him being lost in a world of violence. Miranda is the quiet calm to Efrem, and the chemistry sparks off the page regarding these to beautiful characters.

As always, the story is well written and flows effortlessly drawing you in to the world of Bratva and Efrem’s reality. I hope there are more books in this series as I am not ready to give up the Popov’s just yet.

We teach our children to be helpful to others but we tend to forget to tell them he importance of taking care of themselves. Follow along as hudson learns, self-care and the social skills to handle certain situations. The illustrations are great they help bring the story to life.

What Do the Plants Say? (Alex, the Inventor)What Do the Plants Say? by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 stars

What Do Plants Say? is the first book in Alex, the Inventor series by Lois Wickstrom. This is an illustrated children’s story that includes some science on sound waves. Alex is an inventor and likes to make useful things out of unused and ‘old’ items. In this story we follow along as she brainstorms ideas for inventing a plant translator so she can listen and talk to her plants.
While the story was interesting, and the pictures were on-point, I was left feeling a little disappointed and conflicted, because I love gardening and I would have been heart-broken if my child/grandchild had destroyed my garden by up-rooting as many plants as Alex did in her ‘adventure’.
